We consider a dental emergency as any time you (or a loved one or your client/patient) are in pain, have lost a denture, have a broken denture, or have a cracked or broken tooth. Emergency treatment usually means pain or swelling is involved.

COMMON DENTAL EMERGENCIES – Questions and Answers
As people age, their dental health often becomes more complicated. Geriatric patients are more likely to experience dental emergencies such as a broken denture or crown, swelling, and toothache. If you are a homebound elderly patient and experience any of these emergencies, it is important to seek help immediately.
Broken Dentures
A broken denture is one of the most common dental emergency call that we get. It can be very embarrassing to not be able to speak or smile properly, and it can also make it difficult to chew. Attempting to repair a denture at home is absolutely not a good idea, as most dental labs will not touch it after that. The best course of action is to call a house call dentist who can come and take a look at it. They will be able to assess the damage and give you some options for getting it fixed.
Cracked or Broken Teeth
A cracked tooth is another example of a dental issue that may require the services of a house call dentist. As people age, they may find it more difficult to get to a dentist’s office, making house call dentists a convenient option. In addition, house call dentists can provide care for people who have special needs or who are unable to receive dental care in a traditional setting.
Toothaches
A toothache can be extremely painful, a sign of a serious dental problem, and it is important to see a dentist as soon as possible. This is especially true for elderly patients, who are more likely to have underlying health conditions that can complicate dental treatment. In addition, elderly patients may not be able to travel to a dentist’s office, making it necessary to have a house call dentist come to them. A house call dentist is a specially trained specialist who can provide emergency dental care in the comfort of your own home. Whether you are experiencing a toothache or some other dental problem, house call dentists can provide the care you need to get relief and improve your oral health.
